That looks like some type of agave. Best bet is to take your photo to a local nursery for identification and maintenance advice.
It’s quite beautiful!
that is a bromeliad.Use tepid water when soil feels dry to the touch, and put water in the area where the stem is
bright indirect sunlight
This is a bromeliad. This looks like a Guzmania but I would have to see the flower to be sure. The other answers are all correct. Like Janet said, keep water in the cup around the center stem. When the flower begins to fade you will get smallpups growing around the base. When they are 1/2 the size of the mother plant you can cut them off with a sharp knife close to the base and repot them and you will have more plants.
I just noticed that you and Janet are in the same area. She should be able to give you specific information on growing conditions. When the weather gets warm you can put the pot outside in a shady spot and it will appreciate the indirect light that it gets. You can use a small amount of a balanced fertilizer like 13-13-13.
It is a bromeliad. Low, indirect light, water only when dry. Propegate as stated above
